    The 2004 "Trailer Park Boys" movie. Great soundtrack and ends with Tragically Hip.

    RPG playing friends and myself came to the conclusion that in the Zombie Apocalypse genre the zombies are pretty much the equivalent of catastrophic weather and humans are the real danger.

    Another trailer issue. "Use plates not authorized", huh? So unregistered trailer. You register it once and it's good forever, so this is just laziness. I guess that goes well with "insecure load." https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1023687283288457&set=a.167591075564753

    Sometimes they do silly things like give you a license, just so they can suspend it :ROFLMAO: Have a bunch of charges like that and (1) you'll never get a commercial license, (2) they can have repercussions on your regular license, and (3) you're pretty much on a perpetual watch list for MTO.

    Potentially both, depending upon the charge. Company is responsible for road worthiness. Driver is responsible for performing and recording daily inspections. If an owner/operator, he's well and truly screwed.

    The fines aren't an issue as would be the loss of a CDL, if the driver has one. Though with that stack of charges the fines would be considerable.

    I'm thinking they hit him with "Permit driving of a commercial motor vehicle contrary to prohibition" for the plate. Only one charge for a specific crime can survive in court, so they hit him with something higher.

    Just finished rewatching the original 1979 "Battlestar Galactica", aka Disco Galactica. Still a fun watch, despite all the science related issues I had with it back then. Also finished all 12 season of "Trailer Park Boys." It holds up. Considering the animated series and the movies/specials now.

    This is when you impound. That he could be back on the road in that condition, in three days, tells me that someone likely screwed up on the first stop.

    Keep self snitching, moron. Makes it easier to get you off the roads and away from reasonable people.

    The driving while suspended charge was one of the charges they dropped.* They also hit him with a fine for driving while uninsured that was below the minimum, then gave him something like 6 months to pay. If I remember correctly the fine was $1500 when the statutory minimum is $5K. *I think...

    Part of the issue, on not resetting people to G1 or requiring a test, is how long it takes for cases to be heard in court. Even back in '98 things were bad. I have mentioned before that I got taken out on my bike, head on, but an uninsured and unlicensed pizza delivery driver (his license was...

    This is why I have been running front and rear cameras for years. Seriously considering an upgrade to a 4 channel setup, now that some idiot keyed my car, for kicks.

    If the vehicle didn't actually slow down, but rather the brake lights just flashed on, then it doesn't meet the requirements of a brake check under 455/07 (regulations regarding Stunt Driving). EDIT - I just glanced at the regulations, again, and they can be interpreted to mean that every one...

    Looks like the results of a brake check, to me. VW was right up the other car's ass and a tap of the brakes made him panic.

    Here's a prime example: https://abcnews.go.com/US/man-accused-attempted-kidnapping-georgia-walmart-granted-bond/story?id=121531948 Except for one thing. The woman who reported the 'attempted kidnapping' has a bit of a history:

    Which, in turn, makes others doubt when actual hate crimes are reported by victims. It helps no one.

    I don't mind when a channel does reenactments, as long as they make it obvious that's what it is, because you can then watch it with a more critical mindset. Presenting something as if it's factual and actual video, when it isn't, makes me immediately block a channel.

    On the other hand I have seen several actual bodycam videos of (white) judges and sheriffs being pulled over for various things, typically impaired operation, and then going nuts on the officers who had the gall to do it.

    Yup, a friend posted it believing it was real. I immediately went looking for anything in the news and confirmed it was staged.
